ABOUT COUNTRY PAVILION

Ever since year one, WantedDesign has always gathered international pavilions to represent the diversity of the design landscape worldwide. F o r t h e p a r t i c i p a t i n g b r a n d s , WantedDesign is a unique opportunity to access the US market and immerse themselves in a mix of commerce and culture.

“…an international spirit is growing even stronger, thanks in part to a couple of Frenchwomen, Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat. They started their own trade show, WantedDesign, five years ago in Chelsea and followed up in 2014 with an outpost in Industry City, the elephantine former factory complex in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Exoticism is a hallmark of WantedDesign: Go to its Manhattan branch (…) if you want to see fresh design ideas from Poland, Argentina, the Netherlands and Tunisia.” Julie Lasky, New York TImes, May 4, 2016

WANTEDDESIGN MANHATTAN combines Culture and Commerce[ [

The approach for Wanted Interiors is to create an inspiring and engaging environment for visitors to experience products and discover brands in a new way. How to waken the curiosity of visitors by welcoming them to a space that’s between a product showcase and entertainment space, letting them interact with the products in a more intimate and lively way? How to give the participating companies a beautiful place to tell their story in a welcoming environment? Launched in 2017, Wanted Interiors will continue offering new ways to discover and experience products, in the context of a living space at the heart of WantedDesign Manhattan at the Javits. The theme and the design of the space are the result of a collaboration between WantedDesign team, selected young Interior Designers and the manufacturers and companies sponsoring the space.
